Bendición de las doce velas
Buy 12 candles and light one candle every first of the month.
Encienda una veladora el primer día del mes
Una tradición invita a los cristianos a llevar doce velas o Veladoras a la Iglesia para que sean bendecidas por el Sacerdote ó el Diácono. Es una devoción con la que, a lo largo de todo el año, se expresa la confianza en la Divina Providencia, cada día primero del mes, en actitud de oración, cuando se enciende una de las velas.
La flama que en nuestros hogares, ante una imagen sagrada, va consumiendo la cera, representa la oración confiada y al mismo tiempo, la luz de Cristo resucitado, que ilumina nuestra vida de bautizados.
Antes de llevar las velas para que sean bendecidas, es muy conveniente tener un rato de reflexión sobre lo que significa la confianza en Dios. Puede leerse en familia o individualmente el pasaje del Evangelio de San Mateo 6, 25-34.
Oración para ofrecer las Velas:
Señor, al iniciar un nuevo año regalo de tu generosidad, quiero expresar mi confianza en tu
paternal providencia, te pido que al encender cada una de estas velas, el día primero de cada mes, no solo renueve mi confianza en ti, sino que también refuerce el compromiso de vivir como Jesús nos enseña, ayudando con su gracia. Amen
